    To original poster, I love your tag line -- I had to read it twice, and then I loved it!

    Thank You All for your comments. I've found out that sheets are very expensive at the thrift stores so all of mine I've picked up at yard sales. Won't spend more than 50 cents (well, maybe more if I REALLY like it). Have tried lately to just get pillow cases except for the plane colored sheets. There is a LOT of material in a sheet and my collection of them is taking over. A lot of the pillow cases you can get for a dime.

    This thing with sheets started a couple of years ago on another message board where several of us signed up and exchanged FQ's of sheets. A strange way for a stash to start but was a lot of fun!!

    willferg---as for the tag line , that is ME! So many times I've wished I could be quicker to think of what I should say!!

    Thanks Again to All!!!!
